Would Floyd vs Manny have made more money if they fought before Manny got KO'd

[torosboxing75]

The fight would have done similar PPV numbers in 2010 though Manny and Floyd would not have made as much.
Plus keep in mind that back then the potential for more than one fight was there. If they had done a trilogy of fights overall Floyd would have made more $$$ as well as Manny and everyone else involved.

What about 2011 or 2012 before the brutal KO?

I don't think it would have been much different in terms of viewing figures. That fight was huge and anybody remotely interested in boxing and sports seemed to tune in anyway.

Plus a lot of people who watched it were casual fans and people who don't even watch boxing, they didn't even know or care if they were past time, as long as it was Mayweather v Pacquiao, that's all that mattered.

Arum wanted $59.95. Shaffer said they could do $79.95. Again nobody new how many PPV's they were going to sell. I still feel they would've sold more based on Manny's severe popularity drop after his KO lost. It showed in his PPV numbers following.

What popularity drop? Bradley 2 sold nearly the same amount as Bradley 1, the other guys were a step down in quality so of course they sold less.

He sold more fighting Joshua Clottey

He sold more fighting Joshua Clottey

Clottey was a better fighter and a bigger risk than Rios and Algieri, that's not even debatable.

Casual dont know anything about CWs thats the point for them Manny was the terminator , when the CWs went so did the perceived killer instinct and Manny was once again the same fighter after the CWs as he was before them , his resume proves it , he ground out wins from constant pressure and power boxing , like Barrera went from a bawler to a very good boxer Manny did the same , its common in older mature elite fighters that they use more skill over brawn .

So if it's so easy to destroy people using CW the way Pac did Margarito Why couldn't Floyd put a dent in Canelo? Ask Bradley if Manny has power.

Honestly I have no idea, it was still the best fight that could be made when it happened so I honestly can't say.

Clottey had no fan base Rios had far more fans and sold less against Pac because Pac's rep took a dive.

Rios has no fans either. The Clottey fight was seen as a risky fight for Pacquiao which is why it sold more. Explain why the Bradley rematch sold near enough the same amount if Pacquiao's popularity took a dive?

Had it not marinated wouldn't lure so many commons. Easy work.
